Doing a doctorate is a complex process that is rarely straightforward and can demand a lot of energy and resources from researchers. It involves meeting a wide range of demands, demonstrating personal responsibility and performance at different levels, and mastering the emotional highs and lows of this phase of life.
This session aims to raise awareness about the importance of mental well-being during the doctorate. Internal and external stress triggers as well as warning signs of stress will be discussed. The participants will learn about the different pillars of stress competence and can assess to what extent they integrate basics of well-being in their lives, in order to prevent psychological crisis. The importance of asking for help when in crisis and ways to do so, including contact persons and resources, will also be highlighted.
